ANZAC Day
Today, 25 April, is ANZAC Day in Australia, where we remember those that have given their lives in the service of our country in all wars. The actual day commemorates the landings in 1915, at what is now known as ANZAC cove on the Gallipolli peninsular in Turkey. The Australian and New Zealand Army Corp were landed on the wrong beach and suffered appalling casualties.
"They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them."
Lest We Forget
